Putting together a Prefab Building Kit
Everyone has the need for extra storage space, but not all of us want to pay the monthly fees for storage containers, or have the money to have a portable building custom built and delivered to our home. For those of you that fit this description, the alternative is to build a storage unit of your own. For those of you that are less than proficient with carpentry tools there are Prefab kits to help you construct these items.
The prefab storage containers that you can build from kits come in many different sizes. You can find small buildings that measure 8’x8’ and you can buy these items that allow you to build a structure that is over 100’ long. The smaller buildings are the ones designed for the average homeowner. They are put together using few tools, and all materials are cut and prepared for you in advance. All of the hardware you need is supplied in the kit, and detailed instructions for how to put the pieces together.
The larger prefab kits are much more complicated to erect and they actually require you to either be very skilled at construction or to hire a contractor to do the job for you. These larger storage containers are designed to be installed on concrete pads, and some of them require heavy equipment in order for the materials to be set in place.
You will find that your home improvement warehouses will almost all sell one of the prefab storage containers in a do it yourself kit. On the outside of the package you will find a list of the tools that it takes to install the components included inside the kit. Generally a flat end screwdriver, a Phillips head screw driver, a pair of pliers, and possibly some sockets and a socket wrench will be the only tools required.
When you open the prefab kit to build your new storage containers, it would be wise to separate all of the pieces into piles so that you are not digging through the entire amount at each step. Read the instructions for assembly completely before you begin. This will let you know if there is going to be something that you need help with before you reach the critical moment of needing the assistance.
Keep the instructions close by for reference as you begin to assemble the pieces. You will likely need at least one other person to help you to hold the pieces in place while you bolt them together. Be certain you use the correct hardware in the correct places so that you have enough screws in all of the right places.
Prefab and storage containers are building kits that contain all of the components needed to construct a small storage shed in your own back yard.
